This recipe is absolutely fantastic and makes such a big batch... I'll have plenty of hot cocoa for a while!

I did make one change to the recipe, instead of using regular baking cocoa, I substituted Hershey's Special Dark baking cocoa which makes it very rich and wonderful!

There is no cocoa mix out there that's better than this one. I make it every year---it makes the Best, most creamy hot cocoa ever.

This is the best hot cocoa mix I've ever made. The pudding makes it rich and creamy. My kids like it better than store-bought cocoa mixes.

I love this receipe. I put the cocoa mix in with my coffee and add a little whipped cream. Just as good as those you buy at the coffee houses
